Trying a larger image format
I've been unhappy with the 600 pixel width I've been using for the images here and am now going to try using a width of 700 pixels, a little narrower than the header image (now removed).
Also I want to tighten up the page headers to get the whole image displayed above the fold. I think that would make much better looking page.

Emergent democracy
Culture brings us together, usually at a very small scale through mutual belief, trust and common interest. It educes, not compels, behavior. Culture codified is law. It is as inevitable as the day the night that as scale increases, law increases. Law enforced is government. Government does not, in the main, educe behavior, but compels it. Democratic or otherwise, rarely, very rarely, does any concentration of power or wealth desire to see subjects well informed, truly educated, their privacy ensured or their discourse uninhibited. Those are the very things that power and wealth fear most. Old forms of government have every reason to operate in secret, while denying just that privilege to subjects. The people are to be minutely scrutinized while power is to be free of examination.
